Overview: Minnesotans for Klobuchar is hiring full time Producer / Editors who will play a key role in

turning raw campaign footage and other found content into sharp, compelling content across organic and paid media. This is a post-production-forward role — you’ll spend the majority of your time editing, cutting clips, building short-form stories, and keeping our media library organized and ready to deploy.

We’re looking for someone who can help plan a weekly video strategy while being able to quickly react to breaking news and rapid response moments. You will produce a constant stream of sharp, unfiltered video to power a simple narrative (fast!). The ideal candidate has a demonstrated ability to adapt a broad narrative to the events of the day, cares about politics as a means to improve people’s lives, and is excited to join us in Minneapolis for a fast-paced campaign built to win.

• Assist in the approval process and delivery of all organic video materials

• 1-3 years of editing and/or production experience in campaigns, news, sports, documentary, or fast-paced agency environments

• Strong editing skills in Premiere Pro (Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve optional alternatives)

• Experience with testing formats and styles to identify engaging organic video content — you can experiment to learn how to make a moment land

• Demonstrated ability to cut quickly and deliver clips in response to rapid response moments and regularly produce multiple clips and turn around same-day requests

• Demonstrated ability to calendar out potential opportunities based on upcoming events

• Comfortable working long hours, nights and weekends based on external events

• Experience with social first platforms such as CapCut, Descript, Filmore or InShot a plus

• Basic familiarity with camera operation, audio capture, and field production a plus
